Any games like Oregon Trail but more detailed?

I’ve been playing Oregon Trail and it’s been fun, but it feels pretty basic. Are there any games out there with the same style but with more depth or options?

Have you tried Organ Trail?

I was waiting for someone to mention this :joy:

Maybe try FTL? You manage resources and make decisions while traveling through space. It’s more focused on spaceship battles, but the overall vibe might appeal to you.

Oregon Trail II is actually great if you want something deeper. It has more choices, routes, and challenges than the original. It’s probably the best in the series.

The music from Oregon Trail II is unforgettable. It’s stuck in my head forever.

The Banner Saga might be worth checking out. It mixes resource management with turn-based battles and story decisions.

The caravan part feels like it doesn’t matter much, though. The choices mostly test your morals rather than having big consequences in the game.

And for the record, it has nothing to do with candy lines.

What about Death Road to Canada?

Have you looked at RimWorld? It might scratch that itch.

True, even though it’s about building a base, it captures the survival vibe well. Plus, the events and challenges keep it fresh.

Yeah, and the stories that emerge from your characters’ lives make it really engaging.

@Zenith
You can try moving around in RimWorld, but you’d miss out on building cool bases and other content.

Definitely RimWorld!

Red Dead Redemption 2 could be an option.

I just realized I’ve been chasing the feel of Oregon Trail my whole life. All my favorite games seem to have resource management in common.

How about Math Blaster? (Kidding, but kind of.)

Do we really need more details about dysentery, though?

Yukon Trail might interest you.
